Overhead Book Scanner 2500

The Robust and Affordable Overhead Book Scanner

The ScannX Overhead Scanner 2500 is the ultimate solution for libraries seeking an affordable, user-friendly, and powerful book scanning device. This cutting-edge technology simplifies book scanning to the flick of a page. With every scan, the overhead scanner automatically orients and crops with smart tilt correction, flattens curved book pages, eliminates the user's fingers, and separates the left and right pages. The result? Flawless scans every time.

Despite its robust feature set, this state-of-the-art scanner is incredibly user-friendly. It's designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to operate the scanner via a touch screen, hand button, or foot pedal, while scanning entire pages at a lightning-fast speed of 6 seconds per page - even when scanning dual-facing book pages or A3-size documents.

Key Features
  • Ultra-fast scans in six seconds per page, with no pre-scan required
  • 25MP Sony CMOS Image Sensor with an Optical Resolution of 330DPI, with interpolation up to 600DPI
  • A unique hardware design that features overhead scanning to capture face-up books up to 17” x 11” in size, and up to 3" thick, and documents up to 18” x 14”

  • Innovative ThumbErase™ automatic digital thumb removal technology for scan-perfect results

  • ABBYY FineReader technology for unmatched OCR accuracy, with automatic conversion to searchable PDF, Word, MP3, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG file formats

  • Security stand to protect the scanner when used in public settings
Integrated OCR

Security Stand
The Overhead Scanner 2500 ships with a custom security stand manufactured by ScannX to protect the scanner from theft in high traffic areas. It is easily installed in minutes, fits the scanner perfectly, and can be attached to a table for further protection.
Accessibility
ScannX designs its products with accessibility built-in from the ground up. The touchscreen interface is designed for ultimate ease-of-use and includes contrast and magnifying tools for the visually impaired. Audio narration is built in. And the selection of scan controls includes a simple touch on the display, a desktop button for the hand, or a foot pedal to keep the hands free. We also offer a 48” x 30” height adjustable table to meet additional ADA compliant requirements.
